Slip Robotics

Series B in 2024
Slip Robotics specializes in robotic technology that streamlines the loading and unloading of trucks, significantly reducing wait times for truck drivers and minimizing risks for forklift operators. Traditional loading and unloading can consume up to 23% of a truck driver's workday, while forklift drivers often face pressure to expedite these processes, leading to potential safety hazards and damage. Slip Robotics addresses these challenges with its SlipBot Automated Loading Robots (ALRs), which can fully load or unload a trailer in under five minutes without the need for Wi-Fi or IT integration. This innovative solution enhances operational efficiency across various sectors, including warehousing, distribution, logistics, and manufacturing, by allowing a single operator to manage multiple trailers simultaneously. The SlipBot robots-as-a-service network achieves tenfold improvements in safety, speed, and cost savings within the supply chain.
